"Jus' let me get out to California where I can pick me an orange when I want it. Or grapes. There's a thing I ain't never had enough of. Gonna get me a whole bunch of grapes off a bush, or whatever, an' I'm gonna squash 'em on my face an' let'em run offen my chin." (Steinbeck, p. 83)
Excerpt from: Come Up From The Fields Father
Walt Whitman 1819-1892
"Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the trellis'd vines,
Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines?
Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?
Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and
with wondrous clouds,
Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful, and the farm prospers well."
